Steemit is not only a platform similar to a social network, it also provides a system of monetization and storage of financial resources, which is why at the time of the death of an owner of a Steemit account, you should be able to donate the account to a specific person, to avoid that the profits in Steems fall into the hands of someone who should not have taken over that account, if the will of the deceased were followed. 
  
The same is offered with any company similar to a bank, because at the time of the client's death, the account becomes the property of another person previously chosen by contract.

## How could an assigned inheritance system be integrated 
  
It could be assigned to an heir, by placing an email address, belonging to that person, as well as a verifiable mobile telephone number, and adding information about the person in question. 
  
### How the right to inherit would be claimed 
  
After the deceased owner of a Steemit account, the beneficiary (heir) would have to communicate with Steemit.com and prove with some tangible evidence that the owner of the account has already passed away, and Steemit as a means of prevention could implement a deadline 3 to 6 months of waiting, to conclude with the transfer of the owner of the Steemit account in question. 
 
--------------------- 

### Consider the will of the deceased user

It may seem a bit grim to think about death, but this platform has become something more than a social network, since many people base a large part of their subsistence on the profits they receive from Steemit.com. 
Allowing to assign an heir is something that should be natural, at least out of respect for the will of the person who has died, because if there is no control over this type of situation, it can allow any person to take possession of the data of login of a Steemit account, of a deceased person, posing as the owner of said account.
